FIA reportedly seeks Mustafa Kamal’s arrest in Rs. 10.445 billion Hajj vaccine probe

The FIA has reportedly sought permission to arrest Federal Health Minister Mustafa Kamal as part of an investigation into alleged irregularities in a Hajj vaccine contract worth Rs. 10.445 billion, according to TechJuice.

Investigators have identified Rs. 2.445 billion in suspected excess costs associated with the contract. That amount is the portion under suspicion, while Rs. 10.445 billion is the value of the overall vaccine contract being investigated.

The reported move concerns a request for permission to arrest Kamal, rather than an announcement of his arrest. The contract irregularities remain allegations, and the excess costs identified by investigators are described as suspected.
